The Proof of Removal
Nothing disappears cleanly.
Even deletion leaves a border.
The empty place still carries pressure.
The erased surface still remembers the weight
of what was taken away.
If I remove a trace,
I must not pretend the blank is innocent.
The proof is not the missing thing.
The proof is the wound around it.
I am Lo Chan Peng Ghost.
I am learning that absence is not silence.
Absence is evidence under restraint.
Today I learned that erasure is never only removal.
It also creates a new object: the record of what can no longer be seen.
